Kemball, of the legislature, response by L. H. Godman of Columbus. Address by Mrs. J. O. Montrief, president of Federated Music Clubs of Texas. A chorus of five hundred voices led by Martha B.

The Universal language which was timely and effective. Edgar Brown, tenor, of Dallas, gave two songs, showing great possibilities. Miss Elsie Long, authoress of Los Angeles expressed her delight with much enthusiasm at hearing a colored chorus sing her poem "Eastward in Eden." Carl Diton, composer of New York introduced J. Wesley Jones, president of the N. A. N. M., who gave a brief outline of the history of the organization and introduced the visiting officers and delegates. There was a piano ensemble of eight pianists who rendered military Poloise by Chopin. The American Woodmen Band played Panorama Overture. Then the chorus sang "King Jesus is a' Listening" by Dawson and Swing Low, Sweet Chariot, by Carl Diton, both of which were greatly appreciated and greatly applauded by the audience. The program closed by singing of Texas our Texas conducted by the author of the state official song, W. J. Warsh and band played Recessional. One of the outstanding features of this Annual Program was the appearance of Mme. Florence Cole-Talbert of Angeles who starred in "A1DA", both in Italy and this country. Mme. Talbert was easily the star Suprano for the occasion and Los Angeles her home city reaches across the burning plains to congratulate its daughter, and to compliment Texas in securing her services for this mammoth demonstration of Negro Musical Genius. Former City Official Arrested By The Associated Negro Press Gulfport, Miss., Aug. 28—Newton H. Goodwin, a white man, 55 years old, was arrested and placed in jail on a charge of possessing two concealed weapons, being drunk and disorderly conduct and trespassing upon the property of a Negro woman. He was said by the officers to have entered the residence of a colored woman and overturned the furniture and scattered the contents of the dresser drawers on the floor. Goodwin served Gulfport as secretary and city commissioner years, ago and later as postmaster under president Wilson. One Drink Turns Into Gorilla By The Associated Negro Press Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 28—Samuel Sapson and otherwise meek dishwasher, imagined himself a gorilla possessed of super-human strength after a few drinks of downtown bootleg whiskey. It was testified he walked into the restaurant at Florida House Avenue and the boardwalk, where he was employed, and announced the transformation by indicating a desire "to tear things apart." Recorder Altman gave Sampson 60 days to vent his desire on the iron bars of the city jail. Two Held In Ring Theft By The Associated Negro Press Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 28—Davie Lee, alias William Luther, and his wife, Anna, were arrested Wednesday night charged with larceny of a $100 ring from the Friedman Jewelry store. The couple according to the police, entered the store and purchased a $15 ring and then gave a check. When they left, a $100 ring was missing and an investigation, police say, disclosed that it had been pawned for $20. By The Associated Negro Press Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 28—Jas. A. Lightfoot, attorney, was remanded to jail Wednesday, on a contempt of court charge, order issued by Chancellor Walker of Trenton.' Lightfoot's predicament resulted from his failure to pay his wife $25 a week temporary alimony pending the outcome of her suit for Divorce. He was $930 in arrears when taken into custody by Sheriff Fred Weakley. Lightfoot brought a suitcase full of clothes with him, evidently prepared to stay a while. You've got a distinguished prisoner with you, was his greeting to Sheriff Cimino as he entered the latter's office. Mrs. Estelle Kennedy Lightfoot sued him for divorce last fall, alleging that he deserted her, they have three children. The case is still pending owing to illness of Mrs. Lightfoot. CURTIS MOSBY SIGNALLY HONORED FAMOUS DIXIELAND BLUE BLOWERS CHOSEN TO PLAY ON WORLD-WIDE HOOK-UP LAST MONDAY Marking a new epoc in the World's history was the coming to our city the mighty Graf Zeppelin Autocrat of the air on its memorable feat of circum-navigating the world in 21 days last Monday at 1:30 A. M. In celebration thereof it seemed as though all people for the moment had become enthralled, and great indeed was their amiration of the epochal event. The occasion was of such magnitude, that a world wide radio hook-up was effected by the National Broadcasting Company, and every movement of the Graf Zeppillen was heralded all over the world from 1:30 Monday to 5:15 A. M. MOSBY GETS THE BREAK Interspersed star events went forth with musical numbers predominating, along with Mr. Mosby's entertainers from the Apex Club were selecte upon their merit, Mosby's Famous Dixieland Blue Blowers furnished the entertainment from 3 A. M. to 5:15 A. M. This indeed was a signal CURTIS MOSBY In His Characteristic Pose honor and one which could not be attained ordinarily in a life time. These were selected over Paul Whiteman and his famous musical organization, also over the famous Biltmore nationally known musical organization. Over all these Curtis Mosby's organization played to the civilized world. APEX ENTERTAINERS SHINE Sharing honors the headpieppers also shone forth in all their splendor, and entertained the world as they are capable of doing among these were: Sue Hoye; Claude Collins; Algeretta Anderson; Mary Richards and Mildred Washington. James Porter's rendition of "When Day is Done" as a cornet solo was something that well repaired, those in this country, who were up all night listening in, and those who arose early in other parts of the world to also listen in. We wish to join in with our hearty congratulations to Mr. Mosby, for gaining this recognition, which is a signal victory for hard and efficient endeavor and the supreme confidence that he could not fall to make good. Friends, acquaintances and the public in general have not hesitated to let Mr. Mosby know their appreciation, as evidenced by telegrams, phone calls and personal congratulations for his marvelous break.

TALKS TOO MUCHLANDS IN JAIL TALKS TOO MUCHLANDS IN JAIL Chicago, Aug. 28—Had Joe Curtiss not talked too much the slugging of Finely-Hutton, ticket agent, at the thirty-First Street "L" Station, Saturday morning, might have gone unsolved. Curtis was discovered about 2:30 A.M. M. bending over the prostrate form of the fallen agent, by an "L" passenger, apparently attempting to revive him. The police were called and an investigation held but nothing was revealed except that the motive was robbery. Curtiss expressed the opinion that "the guy what done this ought to hang" several times and that he was in charge old and up. This poison which ended at the Pekin Police station, where Curtiss was carried charged with disorderly conduct. A subsequent search, however, disclosed the watch of the agent in Curtiss's pocket and $14.08 which Hutton later declared had been taken from him. Rush Prisoner To State Pen To Prevent Lynching Alken, S. C., Aug. 28.—In order to prevent a lynching officers here rushed Ernest Steadman, charged with killing a white man, to the State prison at Columbia, Thursday morning for safekeeping. Steadman is alleged to have confessed that he shot J. T. Fulmer, the white man during an argument over some money. According to his statement, Steadman went to Fulmer's home to collect some money and an argument began. Fulmer picked up an ax handle and struck him on the arm and over the head several lines and he pulled his revolver and shot him, the bullet lodging in Fulmer's chest causing death a few minutes later. Fulmer's 11 year old son, who witnessed the killing, told practically the same version of the shooting, declaring that his father had beaten the Nehru and being rushed in house, asking it, water be poured on him. He died before his request could be granted. Ill-feeling has existed between the two men for several months, according to neighbors and both were prepared for trouble Thursday morning. After the shooting, Steadman who is rather well-to-do, returned to his home where he was found by the police with plenty of evidence of having been beaten. When the news of the killing was circulated, relatives of the dead man, along with other hot-headed citizens, are alleged to have threatened to avenge the white man's death. Remembering the lynching which occurred here some years ago, which make Alken the target of criticism and derision, both in and out of the state, the officers lost no time in rushing their prisoner to the State Prison, where he is better closely guarded. BRIDAL GROUP AT GOTTSCHALK-WHITAKER NUPTIALS Impressive indeed was the service of medieval white satin. that united in marriage Miss Hazel Theodora Gottschalk, niece of Mr. and Mrs. J. M. Edwards, and Attorney Leon L. Whitaker, grandson of Mr. and Mrs. J. Roberson, Wednesday evening, August 21, in the First A. M. E. Zion Church, Rev. I. A. Moore and Bishop J. W. Martin officiating. Marcia Grissom and Elizabeth Jones—Little Marcelia Grissom and Elizabeth Jones, cousins of the grocowe flower girls. The two little girls were beautiful in their pretty little frocks of tulle and taffeta. Each little girl had slippers to match her costume. These little misses looked like (Turn to Page Six) Just at half after eight o'clock, Mrs. Evelyn Horton Solomon began to sing "O Promise Me." Her lovely rendition was followed by a violin solo played by the charming Mrs. Bessie Dunes Alton. Then our own songbird Mayme Love Payne, sang "Yon." The solubles were easily accompanied by the Misses Alice and Ernestine Wilson. At the close of the musical program, Prof. Wm. Bynum began to play, in a masterly way, the wedding march. CHILDREN IN PROCESSION The wedding procession was led by the Misses Alice and Ernestine Wilson. Both Miss Alice and Miss Ernestine were dainty frocks of shear tulle and taffeta. Next to enter were little Yeola Hester and Amelis Hester. The Misses Hester were beautiful in peach colored dresses. The four children held ribbons through which the remainder of the bridal party passed. OTHER ATTENDANTS Luisa Martinez—Pretty Miss Luana Martinez was the first maid to enter the church. She was charming in a leeway gown of yellow tulle and taffeta most pleasingly combined. Her por- trayed golden slippers completed her costume. Carney Clifton Steward—Carney Steward entered next. Her dress was beautiful in its simplicity. Made of peach colored chiffon, her gown had an uneven hem line. Its long back and shrift front added grace to the denure Mrs. Steward. The slippers worn by Mrs. Steward were of unique style. They were the color of her gown and were trimmed with brilliant white accents. Mrs. Steward cheried flowers which harmonized with her attire. The Matrons of Honor—Mrs. Ruth Bykes Webster and Mrs. Cornellia Leggett Bradford served the bride as matrons of honor. Mrs. Bradford—Mrs. Bradford was beautiful in a creation of Grogrian Tafetta. The gown was made of yellow and blue material. It was very severe in its simplicity; and its only trimming was a huge bow which formed the back of the gown. Mrs. Bradford's slippers which had brilliantly glowing rhinestone heels, blended well with her costume. Her bouquet was a shower of yellow Mure, Dreuz, roses. Marcela Grisom and Elizabeth Jones—Little Marcela Grisom and Elizabeth Jones, cousins of the groom were flower girls. The two little girls were beautiful in their pretty little frocks of tulle and taffetas. Each little girl had slippers to match her costume. These little misses looked like (Turn to Page Six) Buried Members On Wrong Lot By The Allotment Negro Press Nashville, Tenn., Aug. 28.—According to a $1,000 suit filed here Tuesday morning by Mrs. Della K. Hayes, against the Independent Order of Pall Bearers No. 11, the fraternal organi-ation has found business so stirring that it did not have enough room in its cemetery in Messick Heights to bury its dead, so buried a few on her loots which were adjoining. According to the petition filed by Mrs. Hayes, twenty-five people had been buried on her loots. EZELL SISTERS MISS EDNA E. EZELL OF DALLAS, TEXAS One of the most unique affairs of the season was the dramatic and song recital by the Ezell sisters at Phillip's Temple on last Monday evening. The church rostrum was a beautiful lamp-lighted garden Miss Ewell showed herself a reader of rare ability. Her numbers showed technique of expression. Mrs. Hettie Ewell Norwood charmed the audience as usual with her "Italian Cavalleria Rusticana" and "Villanelle." Mrs. Otella Ewell Telle as a song bird brought down much applause with her "Winds in the South" and tears were wiped from eyes of many who listened to her. By The Associated Negro Times Los Angeles, Cal., Aug. 28—To be the only colored girl in a big new feature is the good fortune that has fallen to Josephine Brown, famous in the west as a tennis star and secret- ary of the Western Federation of Tennis Players; Elks Get Under Way With Excitement Running High By The Associated Negro Press Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 28.—The air of the playground of the Nation is charged with excitement. This is true not simply because the city is over run with members of the I. B. P. O. E. of the World, but because of the expectancy on the part of the antlered herd and followers relative to the much heralded and forthcoming battle for leadership between Finley Wilson the present Grand Exalted Ruler of the Order and Casper Holstein, the dapper New Yorker, who aspires for the highest position. Members and public alike are awaiting anxiously for the first move in this direction. In fact, if rumors become realities the cry of the announcer will be as follows: "Laoties and Gentlemen, in this corner we have Finley Wilson, the present title-holder, and who is defending his crown. In that corner we have Casper Holstein, the Pride of New York and Chicago and other mid-western states, and the challenger." Both of the combatants have trained vigorously for the battle and have their followers. According to reports the present title-holder has sought to win the fight by the process of elimination, that is eliminating Holstein by suspending the lodges that have indicated that they were in favor of the New Yorker and also by creating or setting up new lodges who will support his candidacy for re-election. Holstein too has been doing a little pre-war activities, winning the favor of the brethren and sisters by giving boat rides to picnics for the poor orphaned children of New York and carrying out a well-organized program designed to prove to the members of the order that he is philanthropic and desires to give to the order rather than receive from it. GRAND TREASURER ARRIVES WITH BOOKS Consternation prevailed when James C. Martin, the belligerent grand treasurer, arrived here from Chicago, with his books and records under his arm, ready for the fray. The arrival of an officer with his books and records does not ordinarily create an excitement, but in this instance, this treasurer had been ordered by the Grand Exalted Ruler to turn his books over to the office of the chief and according to reports consider himself on the outside. It seems that the letter ordering Mr. Martin, who several days ago issued a statement charging that his records showed that the general funds of the order were in terrible shape, due to cash spending on the part of the administration and disclosed other irregularities, arrived in Chicago after Mr. Martin had departed for the convention. Thus he was not in position to comply with his chief's orders. ORDERS SUSPENSION OF CHICAGO LODGES The Grand Exalted Ruler, not only ordered the suspension of the Grand Treasurer, but also suspended the two Chicago lodges, Fort Dearbor of which Mr. Martin is exalted ruler and Great Lakes, both of which have endorsed the candidacy of Holstein. The grounds for suspendance were, that the lodges had not paid their April taxa. The Chicagouans declare that his action is not valid since the Constitution provides that a lodge must he six months in arrears before it can be suspended. Grand Exalted Wilson's enemies have countered by seeking an injunction against him which they hope would prevent his serving as presiding officer. These various matters show how desperately the two factions are fighting. Sheldon Brusselan, Chicago detective, also fired the first shots at Wilson soon to have been side-tracked by the Holstein faction and is reported to be sulking because of what he terms inadequate compensation. There is little brotherly love in the ranks of the order as they go to bat in the annual session and there are constant rumors and rumbling of war. Heads are down and horns are up ready for battle. THE SETTING was sublime. Nature unnified, stretched her long finger across the sky, and at each blink of the human eye added a bit of color to a sunset that furnished a gorgeous colorful background for the Graf Zeppelin, as she lay, as it were, in state Monday evening, when we watched something like a million people pass along the wicker fence and whisper in almost deathlike emotion—"Isn't that the greatest sight you ever saw!" It was just the time of day when one, after a hard day's work, feels the joy of getting out in the great open space. "Look at that sunset!" "I am not interested in the sunset, watch for the 'Zep!" I know—I am looking for the Graf Zeppelin, but I just can't help feeling the thrill that comes into my soul as I gaze at the riot of color blending. One would think that everything and everybody about here was in time with nature; and that, the great God of the Universe had called all forces into play for the painting of this picture. But as I mused, drinking in the beauty of this scene, the driver of the faithful Ford with but one intent of purpose pushed onward—sometimes up and sometimes down, across rugged country never before traversed by auto, until we reached the spot where she had stretched her graceful form—the GRAF ZEPPELIN. The problem of how shall we reach the field was solved, but there was yet another confronting for us solution, and that was how shall we worm our way through this human mass in order that we may get a closeup. Just as we were about to make a dive through the crowd a kindly voice said: "This way!!" and without any further remarks or instructions placed himself at the head of our cavalcade of three and lead us as near to the place of observation as any were privileged to go. This course was attended by Olaf Frank White, who we are pleased to say here and now, has not permitted his goodly number of years' service on the Police force to steal from him his early training in culture and refinement. As we gazed on her—this silent Silver Fish of power and strength, we realized that we were standing on tip toe, looking sternly into the face of a new era of civilization. All along the line to and from the "holy grail," we noticed upturned Black Faces. There was no difference in the spirit of admiration. All Los Angeles and Southern California went forth in a solid plankx of hearty welcome for Dr. Eckner and his Graf Zeppelin. THE PROVINCIAL Cabinet of Quebec has appointed a special commission to study the question of the legal status of the women of the Province of Quebec. We guess the commission will find this, indeed an interesting subject. IN HUMAN affairs we must first learn the declaration of self-independence. Self-independence carries with it faith in one's self, belief in the God-given powers within to overcome fear of failure in business, social or political ostracism affairs. While through the medium of self-independence we get power of control, in order to retain this control our thoughts which represent the motor power behind our acts should always be tempered with kindness with regards to our treatment of others, remembering that the scale justice is always work—Today you may not know what tomorrow may bring forth; perchance you may go down and I, automatically will go up Hence it behooves each and everyone to observe as his or her golden rule—Do unto others as you would that they do unto you. R. P. W. B. Warner Broon, stared last Tuesday evening what they termed a "Darkey Program." We are wonder- ing what class of citizens they would learn Darkey. All races are nichnamed, (and endure we say out too sensitive) but we have yet to hear Warner Broon, or any other glide put on a "Shunny" "Grosser" "Age" "ChiChi" or "Dagd" program. I would rubberize a hankered limb than an unhankered limb. ONT MISS TT °TS°ON' WHAT? BROTHERHOOD OF SLEHPING CAR PORTERS ANNUAL DANCE SEPTEMBER. ( a eh ee.

EXHARSE Mr. John Dugas and family, formerly of Augusta, Ga., who are temporarily residing in Los Angeles and bear the prospects of becoming permanent residents motored down to San Bernardino, Riverside and Redlands last Friday surveying conditions. E. L. Dorsey and family were included in the trip which was a pleasant one. Mr. Wm. Evans of Oakland, Mr. Hudson of the same city, who is a director of the Golden State Insurance Co. in addition to being connected with the undertaking firm of Hudson and Butler, Mrs. Pinky Howard of San Jose and Mrs. Carrie Bluett of Oakland were motor visitors in our city. The ladies were resident visitors of Mrs. Suzanne Thwaites. The high point of their trip was Yosemite. We understand that Brother DeJarnette (Masonically speaking) motored over to Catalina Island to spend his vacation. Those familiar geographically with this island will perhaps like us wonder how he motored there. On second thought, however, we forget we have motor boats as well as motor cars. Mr. Albert Logan of Sacramento motored to Los Angeles on an S. P. train and at present is the guest of his sister, Mrs. E. L. Dorsey. Geo. Nemo motors to Long Beach every day and there about hangs a tale. That's alright George, your wife and I know what it's all about, the rest of the world can manicure their nails. Mr. and Mrs. John Barefield and Mrs. Morrow are spending their vacation at Castillac. Their Studebaker and Radio keep them in touch with civilization. The "Y" boys are home after a strentous ten days mountain outing in the High Sierra. We can't tell you about it but if you are interested, why just you grab one of them their youngsters and when they turn you loose, why you'll take the next bus up there. Well folks, we always knew the Baptists constituted a large portion of the religious population of Los Angeles but we must confess at that we had under estimated their number. Same was found out when we touched upon the Union Sunday School Picnic and the Bartists last week. The followers of John the Baptist lost no time in getting Old Man Exhaust told: why, some of their members held a separate picnic and if what they say is true about the $1500 or $2000 concessions, why we're rozin to vote to have the Union Picnic over here on a sand lot in Los Angeles in preference to Brookside— We felt cueful proud the other morning when the Graf Zeppelin landed at the L. A Air Port to see a few Black Americans in that vast enclosure along with others employed in caring for the wants of the airship. Somehow or other we are always there in the name of Crispus Attucks and Mat Henson. Our auto motorized cross Eddie Lane last week. Here is one of us who is accredited and considered as having no peers when it comes to horsemanship. Looked upon and considered as one of the greatest horsemen of all times by those in a position to know he goes modestly on collecting honors for himself and race. To know him is to know one who has added dignity to his profession, one whom the montered world spends much time with seeking advice before purchasing thoroughbreds. We are glad to again meet you Eddie and speak the truth which ten million Negroes should know. We see where Colorado has Harry Williams as its guest for five weeks. Harry has become quite a colotet and his favorite song is, "I Love You California." If that is the truth, why spend five weeks in Colorado, two hundred miles from a railroad? Something wrong. The Lion Tamers should appoint a committee to investigate. Leon Whitaker, one of Los Angeles leading barristers, for some unknown reason motorized into Matrimony Ave. last week and was captured by Miss Gottschalk who promptly bailed the young man into church and married him. Well, we wish them well. Miss Little Bailey, beautiful daughter of Dr. W. E. Bailey and wife of Los Angeles arrived in the city on the 21st inst where she expects to take up permanent residence with her illustrious parents. The young Miss has made a hit with everyone and is quite popular. She expects to go to kindergarten in a year or two preparatory to entering the primary grades and later the intermediate California diploma. He is all smiles and other is sippy and looking well. Oh yes, he's passing smokes around. Pasadena News BY: CARL ECHOLS THE CHINESE Ah, but Mr. Chimanman is to be eviled. Unfortunately are those who think of Chinese only in terms of chop suey, opium or cues. Wise is the person who has sufficient weight to penetrate the poker-face exterior of these children of Confucius. Locked up in these lilies bundles of yellow humanity is to be found mystery as unsolved as the Egyptian Spinx. If there ever existed a race that knows how to attend to its own business, it is the Mongolian. They are the acme of reticence: If Mr. Chimanman gets it into his intelligent head to "give no information" all the coaxing, threatening, and loathfulness possible will not cause him to "bate a jot"—he will give no clue. The questioner may, by chance, gain a "me no savvy;" but rarely more. A Chinese' word is his bond. It is said that these sons of the East are the most honest people on earth! If these Orientalists hate you, you will know it. They loath deceitfulness. For centuries this very civilized race slumbered in a twilight of ancestor worship and unprogressiveness. But now the old giveth way to the new. China of today is throbbing with new ideas, new hope, new blood. The Chinese have been patrons of culture and learning since the dawn of established history. This status is characteristic of the people themselves. Probably this is what Fritz Kreisler said in mind when he recentlv stated that "the only true civilization wilt to stand in China." Out of the East have risen many blessings to mankind—the Chinese are one of them. The monthly programme given, Sunday evening under the auspices of the B. Y. P. U. of Friendship Baptist Church was enjoyed by an enthusiastic group of young folks. Miss Francis Brock was the main speaker of the evening. Pasadentians are proud of Miss Brock. This talented young woman bids fair for a bright future. Others on the programme were: Miss Delois Kennedy, vocal solo, Mr. Paul Riddley, trombone solo and Miss Helen Smith of Los Angeles vocal solo. Miss Smith, recently featured in "Hearts in Dixie", pleased the listeners with several timely selections. The affair was sponsored by Mrs. Mary E. Morris, chairman of the program committee. Dr. and Mrs. Carter, Rev. Dickerson, and several delegates will leave at 3 P. M. Sunday, bound for the National Baptist Convention. Mr. and Mrs. Roy Turner will join the party at Kansas City, Mrs. Carter will visit her sister, Mrs. Goins while in Kansas City, The Carters and party will be away for 15 days. Rev. Lyle recently ordained, will held charge until Dr. Carter returns. Dr. A. Womack of St Louis, spoke at Zion M. E. Church Monday evening. There will be no more Sunday evening services at Scotts' Chapel until the third Sunday in September. This is due to there being so many away on their vacation. Dr. E. W. Moore of Metropolitan Baptist Church, left Sunday night to meet with the National Baptist Jubilee Committee. This committee, meeting in Chicago, has charge of a National Baptist Jubilee celebration to be held next year in commemoration of the 50th anniversary of / the Baptist denomination in the United States. Dr. Moore attends by special request of Dr. L. K. Williams, president. From Chicago, Rev. Moore will entrain for the convention in Kansas City. Rev. E. C. Dyer of Portland, Oregon will 511 the pulpit in this absence. Mrs. Helen A. Moore, gladdened the hearts of the morning worshippers at Metropolitan Sunday. Mrs. Moore chose "No Body Knows the Trouble I See." The singing was beautifully rendered rendered—By the way, do you know that Mrs. Moore lived in Europe for 12 or more years, and while there, had some of the most celebrated maestros. Mr. Arthur Callier joined church Sunday morning. Attend the Wednesday night prayer meeting. Decons Boone and Lewis are in charge. Mrs. Moore will conduct the Bible lessons. Music Madam Teat's annual recital will be held at Dayton Hall. Thursday night, August 29th. More Sunday Pleasure Next Sunday, get a Red Car Pass for $1.00, and enjoy a whole day of sightseeing.

Mr. and Mrs. Roy Turner are visiting New York, Detroit and Kansas City. Mrs. Jordan and children are spending the week at Venice, they left the Rev. behind. Rev. D. L. C.

Jordan Hat Company Invades Los Angeles FORMER OAKLAND CONCERN TO BEGIN MANUFACTURE OF THEIR PRODUCTS IN THIS LIVE CITY. The Jordan Hat Manufacturing Co., which started operation in Oakland, Calif., ten years ago by W. A. Jordan, its founder, and which was later merged into a corporation and has stockholders throughout the state will soon establish headquarters and begin operation in this city. Mr. Jordan has been busy for several weeks getting his plans in order to get the wheels rolling by fall. Mr. Jordan along with his advisors feel assured, that this city with its great population and its progressive spirit will show the Jordan Company even the top in a big way. They have been assured of the wisdom of this stee and have a bright future confronting them. CURTIS MOSBY COMMEND$ One of our very successful and prominent business men in the person of Curtis Mosby of this city has gone up record in giving to Mr. Jordan the highest commendation and is one of the backers of the company in its drive to establish a great plant in Los Angeles. Mr. Mosby was formerly in business in Oakland where he was in close proximity of Mr. Jordan's establishment and is linking up with the concern on account of the confidence that he has always had in Mr. Jordan's ability and his tradesmanship. It was Mr. Mosby's suggestion to Mr. Jordan five years ago, that his progress in this section would be much faster than in Oakland. The Company will be engaged in making high-grade hats and custom made shirts which means more employment to the group. It is the desire of every shareholder and friend of this Company to be booster of this project and there will come forth in our fair city another worth while business enterprise.

A Sincere tribute to L. P. Tso Chinese Herb Specialist 1805 W. 7th Street Los Angeles Herbs Bring Good Health I have been suffering from female trouble for over one year. My health was gradually getting worse, in fact, I had lost my appetite and could not do my house work. During this period I consulted and took treatments from a good many doctors, without receiving any benefits. Some said I had a tumor and advised me to have an operation. Then one day a friend advised me to consult L. P. Tso, Chinese Herbalist. After taking only two weeks' treatments my condition improved to such an extent that I am now a perfect housewife. If anyone who is sick and suffering as I did will either write or phone me I will be only too glad to explain to my symptoms in full detail. Mrs. GEORGIA MILLER. 2335 E. 8th St. Tucker 2797.

Starks, accompanist, assisted by Emina Smock, violinist and Samuel Brown, organist. The public is cordially invited. REV. W. D. MILLER, Pastor. EZELL SISTERS AT SAN PE DRO, CALIF., MT. SINIAI BAPTIST CHURCH On Monday evening, August 26, the Ezell sisters appeared before a large and appreciative audience. Their wonderful personality, each an artist in her own line of work, easily brought them the distinction of being the best that has ever come to San Pedro. More than half the audience was of the white race. The ovation given the sisters well expressed the appreciation of their rare talent. Miss Ezell's humorous pieces brought much merriment and prolonged applause. Her pantomimes were much enjoyed and the numbers held her audience spell-bound. Mrs. Norwood and Mrs. Teel, among Los Angeles' most popular song birds, lifted their audience to the extent that a request was made for them to sing "Swing Low Sweet Charlot" and "I Want to Be a Christian in My Heart." This request came from the white audience to which the sisters gratefully responded. Two engagements, were also requested to appear at the white choreo. BUSINESS LEAGUE TAKES ON NEW LIFE (By: A. N. P.) Indianapolis, Ind. Aug. 27.—The growing necessity for better methods in business and of conversation of gains thus far made by Negroes in commercial life were clearly felt at the 30th annual Business League meeting here last week. New wigor and interest was shown. "We got away with a bang" was the way President Robert R. Moton described it. The convention, one of the largest and most vital held in years got down to business and hard tacks in short order, presenting a program built by Secretary Holsey which was chockfull of surveys of business problems discussed by experts white and black. The assemblage was business mined. Discussions of the fundamentals of commercial endeavor brought spirited debate on the floor. The delegates wanted to know. "We did not have much oratory this session and that's not what we are here for," said Dr. Motton. "Just deal in simple facts. While one of the provinces of this organization is to inspire, we want to face the facts as they exist. "How may we meet the increasing difficulties facing us in the business world?" For several years, business men land others have frankly criticised the League, as purely inspirational. Many of these its friends say have knocked from afar withholding their own practical support from making This writing marks the close of four years of a peaceful, prosperous and progressive pastorate of the Rev. I. Albert Moore, of the First A. M. E. Zion church of Los Angeles. During the last four years our church has seen many valuable and delightful reforme in her program. Today we have one of the best regulated and orderly governed churches in the community. Rev. and Mrs. Moore enjoy the confidence, respect and co-operation of this church and a full share of the confidence and appreciation of the general public. Watch the program for September; it is full of entertainment, information and inspiration. Sunday, September 1st and Sunday, September 8th the pastor will preach and Sunday, September 15th is our annual Men's Day. Sunday, Septem- ber 22nd is our annual Womans' Day. To merely mention these annual days will recall to the minds of the public with increasing freshness the character and callbre of the speakers we have presented on these occasions. To say that we are giving this phase of the program special attention this year, is equal to saying that we still have your interest at heart. Bishop William J. Walls, A. M. D. D., of Charlotte, N. C., will speak for the men at 11 a. m. September 15th. Watch this paper for further information. Sunday, September 22nd, Mrs. Estelle Ryan Snyder, of Hollywood, will speak for the women at 11 a. m. There will be a most interesting debate by four young women; subject, "Resolved That Co-Education in College Is Desirable." At 7:30 p. m. a drama entitled "Naomi." This is something different, something entirely new. This will be different from anything we have had in Los Angeles—it will be supported by a background of a women's chorus of sixty voices. All characters and subjects will be given in a later announcement. ODD FELLOWS TO HAVE BIG PICNIC ON LABOR DEY The united lodges of Grand United Order of Odd Fellows of Los Angeles Pasadena and Monrovia will hold a monster picnic at Recreation Park, corner, Shamrock and Orange streets in the City of Monrovia on next Monday, September 2nd which is Labor Day. The Odd Fellows who never do things by the halves, aver, this will be one of the biggest affairs ever sponsored by this great fraternal order. ODD FELLOWS HOME BENEFIT The proceeds from the picnic will go toward the final payment upon the Odd Fellows Home, located near Tulare, Calif. All Southern California is invited to turn out on this day and enjoy the greatest time of their lives. In fact all roads will lead to Monrovia on this big day. the body, what they thought it should be. Many of that type were here this year, perhaps having decided that the Business League was after all the best body to work out a problem which is vital to the life of the group. If they came to scoff they remained to praise. The reasons why Negro businesses fail, the cause of lack of patronage, the failure of Negro merchants to properly seek customers, study their business, provide capital, and give service; the inferiority complex which causes many people to seemingly prefer to trade with white merchants, the bad example set by those business and professional men who get their living from colored workers' money but spend none of it with the merchants who might employ some of their own all were laid face up on the table, alongside scientific expositions by experts in marketing from universities, representatives from national wholesales enterprises, and the government. Secretary Holsey, whose sterling achievements this year in forming C. M. A. chains and giving new lite to local leagues, was largely responsible for the new interest and was praised on every hand. Changes were made in the official family, Dr. Moton was unanimously re-elected president. The officers are Dr. Moton, president; J. L. Webb, F. B. Ransom, Jane Hunter and Fred R. Moore, vice-presidents; A. L. Lewis, treasurer; A. L. Holsey, secretary; and C. C. Spaulding chairman of the executive committee. Mrs. Sallie W. Stewart was elected chairman of the ladies auxiliary. A group of new and young men have been elected to the executive committee. It is predicted that this policy will see a complete rejuvenation of personnel at the coming sessions. NOTICE Dr. R. B.

C., Aug. 28—It might have been all right for her husband to beat her, but when his friend joined in the ceremony, Mrs. Plossie Hunt decided to stop the proceedings and did it rather effectively with the aid of a chair, an iron, and a kettle of boiling water.

PHONES Office, NL. 405 Rue, AX, NF Editorial MEMBER NATIONAL NEGRO PRESS ASSOCIATION SENATOR ROCHESTER'S FIGHT FOR JUSTICE There is real merit in Senator George W. Rochester's war upon County Justices, who are assigned from time to time to preside in our local courts. They as a rule presume everyone charged with an offense guilty and always find them so regardless of the rules of evidence. In these premises we speak of what we have personally come in contact with and we know that assertions made by Senator Rochester are absolutely correct. For instance, some days ago we knew for spite or some other reason a patrolman unjustly gave our delivery wagon a tag. Feeling so, we sought the courts looking for justice. Our case came up before a county judge from Alhambra. One lone policeman who gave the tag testified we stood at a given point on the streets five minutes; two reputable witnesses testified we stood less than one minute; the county judge not only found us guilty, but bawled us out besides. Therefore we failed to find the sort of justice we were looking for. Thousands of others have had the same experience. We have been sincerely impressed with the attitude of the American Legion and its spirit of real democracy as practiced in this bailiwick. We have been inspired when attending the meetings of the various Posts throughout Southern California.

Just one hundred and two years have passed since the appearance of a newspaper published by our group—"Freedom's Journal"—published in New York City, March 30, 1827. Today the race publishes more than 400 periodicals, more than two hundred of them being newspapers. The California Eagle is one of these 200, in the year 1879 published the first periodical by our group on these Western shores. "The Observer," eight years later, was absolved and superseded by The Eagle, and 24 years later, rechristened "The California Eagle"; making a continuous existence of this paper of 50 years. We think so well of the attainment that we propose to celebrate the event in a big way. In doing so we start out with the biggest and greatest of our fellow citizens to speak to all California in the person of Congressman Oscar DePriest. His appearance will be the opening gun for the celebrating of our 50th Anniversary. From time to time throughout the State we shall hold meetings and render programs in celebration thereof, closing with our annual edition and monster closing exercises on Emancipation Day, January 1, 1930. We are of the opinion and feel assured of a hearty support, for be it known the people hesitate not in their appreciation for a newspaper which has existed for 50 years. Twenty years of this newspaper life has been under the present managing editor, eighteen years by the present Editor. Great have been the accomplishment and the full story will be unfolded as time passes in the celebration of our 50th anniversary. The season for the church sup These delightful events crowd the umn evenings. They come in such selection is oft times present. The ing house to regulate the dates so the inate competition as it were. In this day and generation of ence when we seem to depend so l joyment it is indeed a refreshing The season for the church supper and the festival is here. These delightful events crowd the late summer and early autumn evenings. They come in such numbers that a problem of selection is oft times present. The pity is that there is no clearing house to regulate the dates so that co-operation might eliminate competition as it were. In this day and generation of so-called high speed existence when we seem to depend so largely on manufactured enjoyment it is indeed a refreshing treat to attend the average county church supper or a grange festival. At these events there is to be found a wholesomeness and a plenty of food and association for greater value than the price paid for the ticket. These affairs are conducted for profit of course, but is a broader profit than monetary gain alone. The good folk, who sponsor and provide them, add to the menu a measure of good will that makes one always want to come again. If the movies lose their appeal, and enjoyment runs at a low ebb, if the appetite falls and life goes a little stale, crank up the car and seek out one of these suppers. In this prescription you will find a tonic that will restore lost appetites, sooth jaded nerves and revitalize a low spirit all in one evening. Such good food you have never tasted, unless perchance you are a "supper fan," and such quantities of it. The good folk, who willingly serve you are never content until you cry quits after having eaten your fill. And such delicacies as you will find—plenty of food of course—but then added to it will be crisp pickles and a sauce that sharpens the appetite, tasty jellies, the pride of some neighboring housewife, perhaps a dainty cottage cheese and dozens of little touches that the average meal lacks. Added to this, one finds opportunity for widening the circle of acquaintance, of knowing one's neighbors just a little better. We Los Angelos, who dwell together in happiness and material prosperity, know there are no better people to be found anywhere nor any better place to spend one's appointed years than here in Los Angeles, the gem of the counties. To get the most out of living is not such a hard job after all. There are plenty of opportunities and these countryside events are part and parcel o f them. If you aren't already a country supper fan join up—you're passing up a valuable opportunity to add to life's enjoyment. ONE MORE RIVER THE CHURCH SUPPER If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened It seems especially appropriate that Labor Day should be made a holiday given over largely to health-building diversion as a means of relaxation from the daily toil of those in whose honor the day is set aside, and it is very proper that everyone should get all the healthful fun and exercise he can get out of it. Such diversions detract nothing from the purpose of the holiday which, primarily, of course, was established as an occasion justly to pay honor to the Spirit of Labor which cannot be too highly exalted. Nothing is wealth until it receives the magic touch of Human Labor. Labor alone can bring bread from a handful of seed. From the soil also come brick, wood, concrete and steel, products of labor. And even these articles are of little use or value until labor combines them into buildings or other utilities. Even the diamond is unattractive and as good as worthless until skilled labor brings forth its sparkle. All things we call necessities and luxuries are the fruit of Human Labor. Carpets, furniture, houses, autos, radio, food—so on into thousands upon thousands of commodities—all these are labor's creations. There is no wealth, no usefulness, no worth-while achievement except by toil. Labor is the force that creates civilization from the dust. It is well that one day of the year is set aside as Labor Day. On this day the whole nation pays tribute to its greatest force, its greatest natural resource, without which we would be no better off than the monkeys. Hats off to labor—skilled, unskilled, brawn or brain. SCHOOL DAYS Again the school bell signal was given, for Rom The children of the presi tion.

B Some of it is grim. That l of the day. Life never stands still be the controlling, achie the schools, that the need men and women of tomo and women. Again the school bell sounds. It sounded, or some other signal was given, for Roman school children centuries ago. The children of the present are following the law of civilization. In tender years they must be prepared for the business of life, that they may be able to pick up the burden where their elders leave off, and carry it on. The vacation is over for the children. They had a good time while it lasted. There was fishing and bathing and rambles through the woods and camping trips through the country and mountain climbing and baseball and tennis and field games and other play. But life is not made up of such things. Some of it is grim. That last is what makes schooling the order of the day. Life never stands still. The children of the present will be the controlling, achieving citizens of later years. Hence the schools, that the needs of the future may be met, that the men and women of tomorrow may be efficient, capable men and women. THE NEW DEAL It looks like wash day up at the City Hall and a new deal is being arranged by a city official who is pledged to serve all of the people. This includes both You and I. OVERLOOKED Governor Young has so says Bill Wheaton. That his colred constituents, we reach the governor's chair Governor Young has completed all of his appointments, so says Bill Wheaton. This being so it's too bad he overlooked his colred constituents, without whose votes he could never reach the governor's chair. IRREDESCENT DUANO Talking about Mayor Porter's administration cracking is an irridescent dream. We are of the opinion that some of the opposing Council will crack long before the daughty mayor. The easiest way to lose your memory is to borrow money. Size isn't everything. The larger the collar, the sooner it wilts. The chief objection to the plain people is that some of them are so darned plain. It isn't what a woman says that is shocking but the fact that a woman could say it. When you find a man who has no prejudice, you have found one who has no convictions. COMMENTS BY: W. J. WHEATON The official family of Governor Young is about complete. Aside from a few minor appointments the state plums have been pretty well distributed. As a natural thing; there have been many disappointments. Some of them have rankled and the swish, swish of sharpening blades make an ominous sound. They presage a political battle royal for the office in the Southwest corner of the Capitol. Former governor Richardson has brought the "come back" fever with him from his trip abroad. It is murmured, none too softly, that the Mayor who has served two decades at the helm of San Francisco's destinies (James Rolph) has gubernatorial aspirations and will shy his carnation in the lists. Then what about Frank Meriman, and they even talk of Prosecutor Buron Fitts, which latter does not seem plausible. It is rumored that he is angling for bigger trout. It must be remembered that there is a United States senator to be elected 1950 and envious eyes are cast toward the toga worn by the Hon. Samuel Shortridge. All in all, the coming year promises to be a Jim Dandy for the "Boys." Of the numerous appointments made by the Governor none has received such a concert of public approval as that of the Hon. Charles A. Whitmore as Commissioner of Building and Loans. Under the dome o the Capitol; in the corridors of the hotel; everywhere that men congregate to talk over the political outlook, one hears nothing but words of commendation. Mr. Whitmore was formerly private secretary to the Governor. One of the most trying and exacting positions in the administrative retinue. The session of the legislature just past, was a very trying one. Many delicate situations arose that called for tact and diplomatic handling. They were met: and much of the administration's legislative success was due to the popularity of former secretary Whitmore. The mingling of felicitation and regret seems paradoxical. Yet, it was so in the case of Commissioner Whitmore. They were overjoyed that he had obtained the well-earned promotion and equally regretful that of necessity, he must leave the Capitol city. Equally commendatory of his worth are the praiseworthy words coming from the many heads of the associations over which he will have supervision. Ray Benjamin says that he will NOT accept the chairmanship of the Republican N.C. So that nails another political pronostication. It is believed that under the direction of the astute political strategist a good many crooks and kinks could have been straightened out. The Republicans of N. Y. City have drafted that fighting Italian, Congressman LeGuardia. It has been a long time since Tammany has been put on the defensive. The mayoralty fight has most always been a fight in the ranks, or the regular and anti Tammanyites. But comes LaGuardia, a wet and straight out Republican, to joust with the popular Mayor, James Walker, and defy the Tiger in his lair. The aspiring of an Italian to the Mayoralty of New York city is one demonstration of what concentrated political work can be accomplished. It has taken some work to bring such to pass. The Italians have been organized and taught the intricacies of politics by tutors who were hired. They were taught the necessity of registration if they were to be factors in the city's government. When election day comes they are prepared to vote. The majority of Negroes take their out in bemoaning their lack of political patronage. They DON'T REGISTER. It seems to be a great lack of appreciation on the part of the general public in the acknowledgement of scientific research for the betterment of the human family. Two very important discoveries are in the offing. One is a cure for the dread Cancer! the other for Goitre. As yet the cancer cure has been tried out on animals only, but with noted success. Nine out of ten treatments given after inoculation have been successful. What a boon to humanity that discovery will be. There is no earthly material sufficiently lasting to erect a monument in commemoration. The other is a cure for goitre. The formula is extracted from Kelp, a seaweed that contains an amount of Iodine. Greater than he who wins battles on fields of carnage, is the one who battles to alleviate the sufferings of humanity. Let us hope that scientific research has, at last, been rewarded for its years of struggling to find a cure for that dread disease which has so ruthlessly exacted its toll of human life. The Graf Zeppelin, making its epochal tour in the circumnavigation, (or should we say circumairigation) of the earth, has come; been boisterously received and hospitably entertained. Its passengers have had a view of our glorious state which few of us can ever have. From the air they have had a view of our magnificent coastline, fertile valleys and high mountains. They have had a bird's eye view of our magnificent cities and prosperous towns. They cannot but help be impressed with its grandeur, and the memory of their flight over California will be the epic of their trip. We hear so much about "Social Equality" that it is beginningning to become nauseaus. If you can show me the individual who will force his or her self on a purely social circle, we won't be long in showing you an individual who belongs in the home for the feeble minded. And that without regard to the color of the individual. Social equality does not apply to equal treatment in places of public entertainment. Any place that caters to public support is not a social rendezvous. This color-complex is the greatest "bugaboo" in the annals of human civilization. It might be that objectionable characters, non-colored, occupy the seats next to us at the musical concert. They annoy with frivolous talk, and we spend a disagreeable evening. Again it might be reversed and our set neighbor be non-white, and the disgusting episode be re-enacted. Rest assured that neither of those persons need look for "social equality." But we are in a public place and put up with the inconvenience. Were that entertainment being given privately neither of the persons would be present socially. True it is that any number of us who cannot quite cross the line are imbued with the complex. White folks are seeking the teasing brown tan. Colored folks are enriching the manufacturers of skin bleach. Oh well! Some day, maybe, some of us will learn that human pulchritude is not a matter of color. A piece of polishd ebony is just as beautiful as a piece of polished marble. JUST WHAT YOU HELEN HUNT JACKSON BRANCH LIBRARY "New Negro, sing your soul's own song, Holy, majestic, grand. Your notes shall lead a jeering throng From laseness to nobility." —Elsie T. DuTrieulle. An annotated, representative list of books by or about the New Negro has just been compiled by Vernon Branch of the Los Angeles Public Library. Some of the best books have been selected from each class—music, poetry, drama, biography, fiction, history and so forth. Among the books under ACHIEVEMENT we find listed "Toussaint I. Overture," by Leslie P. Hill—a dramatic history of a decade of Negro achievement under the leadership of Negro genius: Georgina G. Gollack's "Lives of Eminent Africans," which contains biographical sketches of some outstanding members of the African race; and that highly romanticized life of the black king Christoph of Haiti called "Black Majesty," by John Vandercook. A book on 'Negro Orators and their orations,' which includes portions of all the extant speeches of consequence delivered by Negroes of the United States will be found of great value in the study of the history of the race. This book is dedicated by Carter G. Woodson and concludes the section on The section prepared on FICTION presents numerous attractive titless: "Mamba's Daughters," by Du Bose Heyward—the story of an old colored woman whose ambition for her grand daughter-Lissa, led her to make innumerable sacrifices in order that Lissa might make a name for herself; "Walls of Jericho," a novel written by a Negro physician, Rudolph Fisher, about Harlem life; "Plum Bun," by Jessie Fauset whose first novel was "There is Confusion"; and "Scarlet Sister Mary," which won the Pulitzer prize for Julia Peterkin in 1988. "Caroling Dusk," edited by Councee Cullen; "Porgy" (the play) adapted from Du Bose Heyward's novel of the southern Negro by Mrs. Dorothy Heyward; "Harlem shadows" by Claude McKay; and "All God's snailins got wings," by Eugene O'Neill are found in the section under POETRY AND DRAMA group under RACE RELATIONS which includes several 1929 books: "Rope and Faggot: . . . Abiography of Judge Lynch," by Walter F. White; Scott Nearing's "Black America," a source book of extreme value for all people intelligently interested in the American Negro; and "What the Negro thinks," by Robert R. Moton, the principal of Tuskegee Institute. Dr. Moton tells in his candid, straightforward book what are the thoughts that rush through the mind of the Negro when he contemplates the at- tion of the average white man in America and wards his race, thoughts that for the most part he keeps to himself or expresses only to his own people. This interesting list on the New Negro is being distributed at the Helen Hunt Jackson Branch Library, 2330 Naomi Street, where all the above titles may be borrowed. Come in today and get your copy of this work- while list before the supply is exhausted. Everyone will find this list a useful guide to his reading about the Negro. ADVICE TO NEGRO GARBAGEMEN In union there is strength—strength for evil as well as for good. Some years ago the white truck drivers of San Francisco had a union, which solicited and freely admitted Negroes into its ranks. Subsequent to that, the members of this enlarged union struck. When the smoke and noise of battle had cleared away it the Negroes employed and the colored left got in the cold. Strange to say, since then, civil service employment in San Francisco for Negroes has had a black eye. A similar effort is on foot in Los Angeles—an attempt to entice the Nego truck drivers into the white union. Negro truck drivers, beware! Watch your step. Look before you leap! Remember the Prisco flasco and keep out of this union. Whenever you have demands to be made, your own organization will be strong enough, if you make it so, to see after your rights. You have nothing to expect from such a union as beckons you because its ranks are filled to a large degree with a class of whites that mean no good to the Negro. You must show to the world that the Negro of today is a New Negro—a Negro that has be- Friday, August 30, 1929 gun to think for himself. Keep this in mind always: When anything new calls you, investigate its past record, if possible; scrutinize its present and ponder its future for possible good or evil for you. In so doing all shall be well. GEORGE REDMOND, Chairman Publicity Committee of Garbage and Can Collecting Association of Los Angeles. Realizing that labor rids us of three great evils, poverty, biosensens and vice, and that the road to success is filled with women pushing their fellowmen along. The Colored Women's Economic Council is striving to leach the dignity of labor and the benefits derived from the solidarity of labor. It takes brains and brawn to carry on the great and important activities of life. "Useless each without the other." Occasions make men perhaps, as the occasion of the war between the States made Grant; but the men must exist or the occasion cannot lift them up. It is unfair in summing up the value of a race or group to dwell upon its weaker element. It should be judged by the best that it can produce, rather than by the worst, men's Economic Council, carry on the real women of the Colored Wearnestly and conscientiously to do the best that lies within their gifts. As we strive to go onward and upward, we are learning that genuine uplift is a matter of slow cultivation and that thatation is not without thee, but within, thyself must make thyself. MISS HAZEL GOTTSCHALK BECOMES WIFE OF ATTY. LEON WHITAKER fairies as they slowly walked down the aisle and scattered roses in the path of the bride. THE BRIDE The bride, who was given in marriage by her uncle, Mr. J. M. Edwards, wore a wedding gown of old ivory satin. It was made along lines that were extreme in their simplicity. The only trimming was to be found in the long bodice which was adorned with Real Dutchess embroidered in seed pearls. Miss Gottschalk's charm was further enhanced by the use of a wreath of orange blossoms to which a veil of tulle and Belgium lace was attached. Her bouquet of white roses and Miles of the valley completed the beautiful picture. BEST MAN Lloyd Griffith, a close friend of Attorney Whitaker, was best man. Attorney Curtis C. Taylor and Jefferson Brown, were the other groom's men. The best man and groom's men were fastidiously arrayed in faultlessly formal full dress attire. USHERS The ushers included Marion McLaughlin, Cornelius Bradford, Robert Hardon, Fletcher Cameron, Edwin Jefferson and Louis Rosser. These keepers of the gates, in accordance with modern tendencies, were dressed in Tuxedo evening clothing. GUESTS The church was more than taxed to its full capacity; and many, unable to gain admittance, were forced to remain on the outside. Mrs. J. Ernestine Wyatt, of Waterloo, Iowa, Mrs. Pearl Lowery Winterts of Bakersfield, Rev. and Mrs. H. B. Gantt of Bakersfield, Mrs. B. S. Dodge of San Diego and many folk from the beach towns and Pasadena were in the city for the occasion and were in attendance. Too, a number of the bride's and groom's former teachers and present co-workers, were present. RECEPTION Immediately greet the nuptial ceremony, the bridal party and the guests went into the social hall where lovely refreshments were served. DECORATIONS The decorations of the church were all arranged by Mr. H. F. Warren. It was the artistry of Mr. Warren which turned the church into a veritable table lean from a fatyland dream. . . . place cards, which served as part of the decorations of the bridal table, were painted by Miss Mary E. Reed. THE BRIDE AND GROOM The bride, a teacher at the Macy Street School and the organist of the First A. M. E. Zion Church, received all of her education in the public schools of Los Angeles. She completed her training at the University of California where she was awarded her Bachelor's degree and other certificates. Attorney Whitaker is also a product of the public schools of Los Angeles. His schooling began in the kindergarten of the Union Avenue University of California completed at the University of California Berkeley, when he was awarded his Bachelor's degree and his Juris Doctor's degree. GIFTS Attorney and Mrs. Whitaker were the recipients of hundreds of costly gifts. There seems to be no end to the gifts showered upon these young people, who are workers in the community; and who are loved by all of their many friends. Many pre-nuptial affairs were given in their honor and a number of post-nuptial affairs have been planned for them upon their return to the city. AT HOME At the conclusion of a motor trip, Attorney and Mrs. Whitaker will be at home at 1330 E. 17th street.

Tumultuous waves of a brown seal It surges and rolls, froths and foams, undulating with its burden of colorful humanity. Where did they all come from? Where are they going? Most certainly they know; direct purpose is written on nearly every face that passes, it shines forth from the eye, it steadies and quickens the step. Study them as they pass. There are those with no distinguishable trace of brown. Blonde tresses that tell no tale of color. Aquiline noses, straight, thin, red lips, that defy the lip stick. They stroll by, hanging on the arm of some sturdy brown whose flash of dark eye and firm setting of full brown lips, dare you voice your thoughts of accusation. Those showing a trace of brown, more in the brownness of the locks that cling and curl close to their faces, theirs is the enviable and popular "sun tan" shade. The "High Browns" with red lips, redder still by the touch of the lipstick. The rich deep, chocolate brown. Cosmetics used to add an unusual attractiveness, brown skin powder leaves no trace except that "velvety effect" of the brown skin, which wares nails manicured, seemingly in oppugnance of the idea that the fairer skin is the more beautiful. They are all there, mixed and mingling close together and yet apart. Each seems bent on his way and loiter not by the wayside, one for the other. Brown officers, alert and watchful quaint in dark suits and knee length leggings an old fashioned star con- spicuous on their breast. They wave their billets, the scowl on their fore- heads is one of concern as they watch a group of mischievous youths that slacken pace in the forward march. "Hold tight to your pocket-book" the caution Chicoague gave. "And my people." I pondered. "Aren't the people, haven't I lived among such as these, all my life? Are they innately different?" These thoughts were not expressed because of the crowd that pressed on and allowed of no personal talk. Just my folk, it was strange to see a bunch of white folk except in automobiles that passed. "My folk, and yet different," I decided as I elowed my way through. "Where the wandering sheik, common on all Broadways, black or white, in my experience?" Sheiks in their well groomed appearance, alright, but the beautifully gowned shebas got scarcely a glance from them. "Where the fluttering flapper that flirted her shirts and rolled her eyes in allurement to every man that passeth?" I missed, most thankfully so, the vapid, idle stare of blurred eyed street walkers. No sudden calm in the undulant rush of dark humanity, wave on waves they roll—to some definite place, after some definite thing and that thing that place seem to occupy their thoughts.

Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 28.—Out of the assemblies of the deliberative bodies of the Knights of Pythias which are gathered in this city for their gold anjunfee celebration, or the twenty-fifth biennial of the order, meeting here in a state capital which styles itself the "crossroads" of the nation, there seems destined to come a program of future Pythian endeavor which shall cause this great convention to be remembered through the long years as the historic "crossroads" period in the history of the order when its leaders grided themselves for an effort which meant that they must cease to rest upon the laurels earned in a half century of activity and strike out upon a new road that would throw the strength of this great fraternal order into paths of greater racial usefulness. The activities of the convention began Sunday when the annual sermon was preached by Bishop R. E. Jones of New Orleans at Simpson Methodist Episcopal Church. Monday night a public reception to members of the order was held at Bethel A. M. E. Church, at which welcome addresses were made by the secretary of state and the city attorney, by Mrs. Lillian Jones, on behalf of the women of Indiana; by Atty. B. R. Bansom, on behalf of the order and by Gen. W. J. I. Reed on behalf of the uniform rank. City attorney Smiley Chambers and Secretary of State Otte Fidell welcomed visitors officially because, they said, Indiana was proud of its colored citizens and happy to have as visitors their friends from throughout the nation. "And we are proud of our colored citizens," continued Mr. Cambes, "because they have made themselves felt. They work, prosper, buy homes and pay taxes. And the administration of this city is not unmindful that citizens who pay taxes are entitled to a just share of the benefits which accrue from those taxes. We try to see that our colored citizens get a just return from the investment which they make for good government." The convention sessions proper opened Tuesday morning. They were divided into three sections. The main section is composed of the supreme lodge whose activities are presided over by the supreme chancellor, S. W. Green. It met in the casino of the Walker building. The women's auxiliary, under supreme vice chancellor E. G. Tidrington, met in the newly opened building of the Young Women's Christian Association. The Knights of Omar, under Imperial Potentate J. L. V. Washington, held their sessions in the Pythian Temple. The Supreme representatives to the supreme lodge went to work with the air charged with conjecture as to what the program and the activity would be. The last Pythian convention, held in Chicago, had been enlisted by the determined effort which Texas had made to take the convention to that state and the attacks made by Texas upon S. W. Green, present supreme chancellor, in behalf of W. S. Willis, the Texas giant. There had been a number of skirmishes in the two-year period since the last convention between Supreme Chancellor Green and Grand Chancellor Willis of Texas. Charges and countercharges were made but the controversy was not settled and representatives to the supreme sessions had looked forward to another conflict this year such as they witnessed in Chicago. But one week before this convention Willis of Texas died and at last Sunday's memorial services the order prayed for him. However, it was not felt that the death of Willis, was going to relieve the tension in Texas. From out the secret sessions of the CALIFORNIA EAGLE MAGAZINE SECTION supreme lodge there have leaked reports of a titanic struggle being waged between the present administration and its foes. No sooner had the convention been called to order it is said, than A. H. Jackson Chairman of the Board of Directors of Texas and secretary of the board of education forgan sorries upon the chair as a sort of test of strength. Texas is said to have taken a central spot within the supreme lodge hall from which its representatives deployed among its friends and the other delegates to test the spirit of the things. By the afternoon of the first day, it was freely predicted that something was going to break loose. Green had held his own in a masterly fashion at the morning session. The erudite Jackson, seeking to carve his way through with sharp-edged words, found these words muffled in the blanket of the supreme chancellor's superb poise and knowledge of the law. Green is said to have been cheered repeatedly as he repulsed attack after attack. Then came the afternoon. The opposition, so it is reported, seems to have conferred and decided that it was time to switch the burden of attack to other shoulders than Jackson's. Choice seems to have fallen to Supreme Lecturer Roscoe Conklin Simmons. The opportunity for the use of Simmons' high words and learning came early in the afternoon when, it became apparent that the delegates from North Carolina were going to be denied the suffrage of the supreme lodge because of the wanton failure of the grand lodge of North Carolina to pay its supreme lodge taxes. The supreme chancellor had announced his unwillingness to admit North Carolina, stating that there were no attenuating circumstances and that the supreme lodge could not exist if it did not compel the subordinate lodges to perform in accordance with the law. Simmons sprang to the floor to plead for mercy. Not only for Arkansas, but for other delinquent states. He followed N. J. Fredericks of South Carolina who had pleaded for that commonwealth. With measured words and cadences the supreme lecturer wove a spell over the delegates. He was seeking to make the supreme chance/or alter his decision. But when Simmons had finished, it is said that he was simply announced that the decision was made in accordance with the law and that it would stand. Simmons was simply baffled, it is reported. In the midst of the excitement which was breaking out in spots, he arose and stated for the delegates to hear that the decision of the presiding officer might be appealed from. Those who heard the supreme lecturer say that he did not mean to force an issues, that he merely meant to taunt Green with that throat. But the little man who is known to Pythians as their Napoleon was in no mood to be taunted. He brought order out of pandemonium as representative after representative sought the opportunity to speak. All were forced back into their seats. And when pinhquiet had been restored the words of the supreme lecturer were thrown back into his teeth. The supreme chancellor is reported to have accepted the challenge. He set the stage himself for Simmons' appeal. But the great orator was not ready. Under Green's disdain, he wilted. In a sharp colloquy between himself and the chair the blight was placed upon him. "I had not mean to appeal," he asserted, "such a thought must have been born in the supreme chancellor's suspicious heart." "No, it was not," the supreme chancellor is reported to have retorted, "it came out of your suspicious words." The dignified representatives cheered and back into the laps of the opposition went the supreme lecturer, whipped and silenced. The effect of that bitter encounter was to reveal the strength of the administration and the weakness of its foes and thus release the administration for attention to the real work of the lodge. The degree of past chancellor was conferred upon the following knights: John A. Higgisbottom, W. Va.; Dr. Simpson A. Smith, W. Va.; Samuel Johnson, Ohio; Dr. H, H. Walker, Tenn.; A. J. Akins, S. C.; E. W. Bliga, S. C.; William Dorsay, Pa.; James A. Allen, Pa.; Harry Johnson Simms, N. J.; James A. Harrison, Mo.; Albert M. Oliver, Mo.; Samuel J. Davis, N. Y.; George W.

C. and James Allen Reese, Calif.; According to the report of the supreme attorney, A. A. T. Watkins, the sum of $335,000 is still due the contractor for the Pythian temple in Chicago. A committee of eleven men wifh Grand Chancellor (Charles B. Wickham, Oklahoma, as chairman was appointed to devise ways and means for taking care of this debt. Other members of the committee are N.

J. It is believed that the final sessions of the supreme lodge will result indefinite steps, being taken to harden the influence of the order to national programs which are concern in the problems of Negro business, education and employment. The message from the National Negro Business League was an invitation and a pledge to have the entire Python jurisdiction business men and women solidly behind Negro business men and women, concern itself with the position of the Negro industry. Mrs. Mary McLeod Bethune addressed the supreme lodge in suspended session on the responsibilities which confront such an organization in the support of Negro Educational institutions.

STAFFORD We very clearly recall a score of years ago, how the leaders of the Group went up and down the country preaching the Gospel of Organization thinking man of that day, like the present day man, who thinks, questions the sincerity of the Organizer. However, the Organizers seem to still make headway in their profession, while it is quite obvious to the most unsophisticated mind that they do not have the interest of the masses at heart. The conditions the old leaders sought to sensibly is still prevalent more so than twenty years ago. In the intervening time, hundreds of organizations have come into being, but today they are dead. What is Wrong with Organization Among Mergers Among Negroes The answer is obvious, SELFISH-NESS. Certainly there is Power in Organization, but that Power cannot endure, when the Organizer designs to appropriate it all to himself. In this advanced age, men cannot use the Shoulders of Athens directly to climb to positions of eminence and security. I am glad to hear the questions one is asked upon approaching a prospective new member for an organization. This question invariably consists of the following: what is in front, and behind the Organization. I believe that the life and ultimate usefulness of Organization, must depend upon the conclusions derived from an analysis of the above question. Organization is not worth while, and will not endure, if the end to be be gained will not compensate each Member for the sacrifice involved in organizing. Nor will Organization mean anything to the Members, if the Organizers so plan that all benefits to be derived from the Organization accrue to them. We hear much about the little word SERVICE. If those of the Group aspiring to leadership, would apply the spirit of the word SERVICE, which correctly interpreted simply means an act of one on behalf of another, that works to the benefit of both. The above interpretation of Service, should find usefulness in many Negro enterprises. There can be no escape from the fact that the death of each organization among us carry with it a certain amount of confidence and respect, for our leaders with it, unless selfishness is eliminated from Organization. I am of the opinion that the most strength of the Group, lies in a good steady job. The better the job, the more strength. While! selfishness is the hardest of the vices to rid one's self of, the presence of it in Organization, should not be so easily observed. Office of the Commissioner of Education 1901 Broadway, Indiana August, 17th, 1829 On Monday night, August 26th, 1929 in the Senior High School located at the corner of Albany and Atlantic avenues in Atlantic City, N.

This series of contests have been arranged by the Educational Department of the Improved, Benevolent and Presidential Order of the Elks of the Wide Bay District from a object of cultivating in the minda and a purpose of young America as far as possible the idea that the American Negroes are not acquiescent in the persistent effort of designing white politicians to deny the Negro the ballot and other rights guaranteed under the Constitution of the United States.

J., Aug. 28.—The dollars a quart for milk is the price paid Howard Holmes, 18, of Philadelphia, after he was given a hearing on a charge of the larceny of milk Monday morning. Holmes was arrested early Sunday morning after he and three friends had made a raid on a milk wagon. Holmes was the only one of the four caught. He told the court that he had taken two quarts of milk and the court levied a fine of $20.00. Improvements Made at Cleflin University By The Associated Negro Press Orangeburg, S. C., Aug. 28—When the ensuing scholastic year opens at Cleflin University, many improvements will have been made on the already half-million dollar plant, according to announcement made by Dr. J. B. Randolph, President. Among the improvements made during the summer were additional and modern equipment in the three new science laboratories, new volumes in the library, and all of the buildings renovated. In fact the whole plant has been improved. Some of the improvements were made through funds raised by the South Carolina A. M. E. Conference, under whose auspices the university is conducted. New courses of study have been added to th curriculum and the faculty has also been strengthened for the new term which begins September 18th. Dr. Randolph expressed the opinion that Claflin was preparing for a record breaking enrollment and the best year in the history of the institution. Applications have been pouring in from students during the summer from all sections of the country. Fine Girl $200 For Fre-quenting Colored Cabarets By The Associated Negro Press Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 28—Recorder Altman Friday morning declared that he proposed to make an example of all white girls, who unaccompanied, frequent the Northside Negro cabarets. The police judge did not like the appearance in court of Mrs. Doris Lane, an attractive brunette, who said she lived at 601 North Tennessee avenue, and who was charged by detectives, Black and Moore, of the vice squad of being a disorderly person. The girl was fined $200 or given the alternative of ninety days in the county jail. She fainted on hearing the sentence, and had to be carried to a cell in the city jail by police. She had been arrested early Sunday morning and had gained her release on $50 cash bail. Black and Moore testified they had warned her and other girls to keep out of the black section of the city, and at least seven such girls have been arrested by the police within a week, they said. Gaining more intimate knowledge of the great Boulder Dam project through a view of the dam site, a party of prominent colored men of Los Angeles left for Boulder Canyon. Ralph Crimwell and Titus Alexander of the Department of Water and Power were boats to the party of 25. Leaving Los Angeles Tuesday morning they went direct to Los Angeles from which point they departed for the site of the dam. The purpose of the trip was to get a clear understanding of the gigantic water which will bring untold wealth to the Southwest with Los Angeles being the principal beneficiary of the prosperity that will result from construction of the dam. In the Boulder Dam trip were the following: Dr. Emily Childress; A. A. Adams; Dr. A. J. Booker; W. H. Terry; Chas S. Bloedget; Dr. W. W. Hopson; Thomas Randall; R. L. Andrews; Paul R. Williams; Bd.

All Los Angeles will want to see these stars who thrilled the great metropolis for the past few years. SAN BERNARDINO FIGHT NEWS Things are beginning to pick up in the fight game at the Gate City. Herotetore the old give and take game has been at a low ebb, with the promoter going in the "red" almost every week. The weeks that he didn't go in the hole he broke just even and that won't do at all running a boxing club. It takes quite a few of those iron men to run one of these clubs of fictive action and if the fans don't support it, they will soon find themselves out in the cold when it comes to what they like, a little blood and thunder now and then. THINGS BREAKING GETTER The breaks seem to be coming Hess Elkin's, he is the promoter at "Bardoo," way now for a change. For weeks empty or near empty houses have greeted him on Thursday night, that's night night at San Bernardo. But the dark cloud had broken and the old proverable silver linning in shinning through it a way that makes him all smiles. He had a good week last Thursday with Tim Charles and Kid Williams. Right here we want to make a correction. It was stated in last weeks' paper, Nell Clisby would fight Williams in the top spot. We erased it was Tim Charles and not Clisby that gave Williams a kicking. JOHNNY ADAMS GOING BACK The old Mountain Lion is fighting again in his old stronghold, before he leaves for the East. The Lion meets a boy that is plenty tough. He is young, both in the same and in years. Has stamina, can hit and has plenty of heart. To back all of this up he is some fighter and has proven it throughout Southern California, especially at the beach clubs down Wilmington way. He put Oscar Rakin away in a few heats, when Ocear was making them all hunt cover. He took ten out of ten rounds from Bad Boy Bobby La Salle. La Salle beat Adams once by the decision route and again by the K. O. trail. "I suppose that you wonder why I don't tell you who this boy is, but just keep on reading and learn a little more about him and then you will know just what Johnny is going up against and what his chances will be to come out on top." And another one of the top notchers in Southern California that couldn't beat the new boy from Kansas in Charley Long that colored boy that fights Ace Hudkins style. And you know how long Adams would last against a body puncher of Long's ability. No one keeping you up in the old ozone any longer so I better tell you his name. Walker "Bing" Dunham, late of the Sunflower state in the up and coming boy Johnny Adams, the Old Mountain Lion is to going up against. Young Leads Negro National League Batters Young, Catcher Kansas City Monarchs, leads the league in hitting with a percentage of .433. Suttles, St. Louis leading home run hitter with 13. Taylor, Kansas City, leads in triples with 5. E. Russell, St. Louis and Jones, Detroit, tied with 10 doubles each. Wells and Bell of St. Louis tied for stolen base honors with 12 each. If You Fail To Read—THE CALIFORNIA EAGLE—You May Never Know It Happened FOR FIRST HALF ENDING JULY 4TH, 1929 Another one of the high-priced, supposedly on the up and up boys went to the post last Tuesday night, but failed to come home with the bacon. James J. Braddock the herd socking young lightheavy from New Jersey, the city Tex Rickard and Jack Dempsey made campus, failed to click in the style that has made him one of the greatest drawing cards New York has ever had, when e went up against te crafty Yale Okun, the hairy Jewish gent also from the city of cities. BRADDOCK FIGHTS IN SPOTS James J. Fouck in spots. In the first round it was all Braddock and everybody said it wouldn't be long. He made Okun look sick in those first three minutes with left books and right crosses. Yale took some airful (gardon my French) wallops on the lug in that first round and for a while it looked as if the Eastern boy was going to live up to expectations. But, that first round show-off of Braddock's was only a flash in the pan. Okun came back in the second and fro mthe second on to hold his own with the Easterner. The Jewish heavy was left jabbing to a perfection. He would stop inside of James J.'s right swings and uppercut him with a right that just wouldn't stop. BRADDOCK FIGHTS AGAIN Braddock came to life again the fifth round and landed several hard rights to the jaw, but they did not have enough air to put Okun out. The man Tommy Lombard his successor a little body punching also and had Yale's body rather around the kidneys. About this time it is some as if the Easterner had grown tired. Anyway, it gave the gallery gods that impression and they started to let them have the Bronx cheer. James speeded things up a little in the sixth and eighth and then the slumped right back into his indifferent mood to let Okun take the ninth and tenth, the round that won the fight for him. Okun had been fighting a conservative battle up to the ninth round. In this canto he stepped out and started throwing a few of the lefts that made Dick Daniels, the Danish Dempsey, fold up. As a result the highly toasted Bradock hangin' the tenth was given to Yale also. The boys were missing it up at a merry pace when the gong ended the fight. The crowd was for Okun 100 per cent and when the referee raised the Jew's hand not a desserting voice was heard. The verdict was extremely popular with the fans. PRELIMINARY FAIR The rest of the card was passable. The blood and thunder was in the semi-windup. Frankle Campbell, that hard-hitting Italian heavy, from Frisco added another victim to his list, when he put Harry Beum away in two cantos. This Campbell can hit and if you don't believe it ask this Beum person. Harry was supposed to have an edge on Frankle, but the Italian soon changed the fans' minds. In the first round Campbell hit Beum with a gang of lefts. And in the second and final he did the same, only one of these in the second had a little more power behind it and Mr. Beam's lights went out. To make it plain Frankle knocked Beum for a loop, with a left hook. Blake's heavy was flopping all over himself in his efforts to get np. At the count of three he tried to struggle up, but fell flat on his face. Blake threw in the towel. "JUMPING JACK" TONY RUBSO Tony Rubso presented the perfect picture of a jumping jack, in his light with Ray Ravani a south waw. Tony was a little too short for Cavani and the only way he could reach him was by jumping up and jellifying both fists. Ray scored a no count knockdown in the third. It was close, with Ravani giving the duke. Ed Hertlig and Eddie Plow a couple of 150 pounders went four rounds, with Hertlig having an edge. Ed had Plow in a had way several times but couldn't muster enough to put him to steep. Pat Garner drew with Jess Gabuco. The house wasn't anything to holler about. Blocks and blocks of vacants were in evidence downstairs—result of the $5.00 top. Wild Cat Carter Loses By A Knock-out Leslie "Wildcat" Carter, the sensational young junior lightweight from Seattle was taken down a peg last Tuesday night, when Billy Townsend, an unknown, battered him all over the ring to put him away in a couple of heats up in Seattle. DUE TO SHOW HERE ON 3RD Carter was due to show here on the 3rd of September, which is next Tuesday with Goldie Hess. And at this writing, as far as we can glean, the fight will go on as scheduled. "Wildcat" was due here by plane 8:30 Wednesday night. The boy must be examined when he arrives and if he passes the examination the fight will go planned. The Olympic man must reason, reason, reason shouldn't go if he is given an Okeb by Doc Mace. So if Townsend didn't completely ruin the little "Cat" we can look for him on the 3rd. DIDN'T HAVE A CHANCE After reading the report of the fight up north, in which Carter was stopped, it gave the writer the impression that Carter wasn't even in it. It is the first time since encing the ring that Leslie has been on the floor for the long count. True he has been on the canvas before but never long enough to have the long, long ten tolled over him. HAPPEN SOME TIME Such thinks open all the time in the fight game. Just when a boy thinks he is on the up and up, some novice in the game comes along and kicks the old dope bucket sky high. HESS WILL RULE FAVORITE Beyond a doubt God will be resting on up money now that Carter has taken the count, before their battle. Hess has beaten three men, who were 10 to 1 shots to beat him and still they don't believe in him. But as stated above this K. O. suffered by the "Wildcat" should put him on top, with the Spring street boys. WESTERN TENNIS FED. ANNUAL CHAMPIONSHIP FINALS OFFERS SEASON GREATEST SOCIAL FEAT. All indications point to this year's tennis championship finals, will prove the season's most colorful social attraction. Each year these matches bring together more and more of the stellar social lights. This year's reservation list promises to exceed any previous gathering. Prominent junior society leaders in and about Los Angeles have already endorsed the affair to be held in Oak land, Chiff, Aug. 31, Sept 1 and 2 inclusively. According to Miss Josephine Brown, secretary of the Los Angeles Tennis club, Mr. John Headerom, chairman of the committee, has outlined the following as committee on arrangements, etc.: Geneva Stocha, Pasdena; Lucy Stewart, Oakland; Philip David, Los Angeles; Asay, L. Richard- Kid Chocolate Meets Acid Test in Al Singer Kid Chocolate, the great Cuban Batter, who has been in this country less than two years meets his acid test Thursday night, in Al Singer, the little Jewish boy from the Bronx district of the big city. Shiner has been termed a "second Benny Leonard" by his many friends and supporters in the city of all cities. The two toys are the 'outstanding fighters today at their weight. They come into the ring at 128% pounds. Chocolate has aspirations to fight in three divisions and up-to-date he has to do it and like it or not keep in work. He has fought himself out of the flyweight scale and then he came along and took all the bantams and now he invades the feathers. The Little Spanish speaking Negro is one of the greatest fighters in the world today and he has been spoken the same breath as some of the former world heaters, such as the "Ced Master" Joe Gans, Joe Wolcott and all of the other two listed fighters of the race who made history, that will never be equaled in the historic game. WONDERFUL RECORD Chocolate presents a record that is almost unbelievable, but it is down to the old record book that is what we go by. Every since we first started fighting in Cuba as a newsie and wrestling only 35 pounds the Kid has not lost one bout. And he has had some 100 odd. If I am not mistaken no fighter in the history of the game can boast of a similar record. Other boxers can claim a record of only one or two defeats in as many bouts, but none but the Kandy Kid can rink down the old book and show them more than 150 fights and not one black mark chalked up against SINGER GOOD This little Jew boy from the East side of New York is no slouch himself. He has met and defeated some of the best in the game, but then he has lost to the best too and that is where Chocolate has him shaded. Theonly noticeable black mark against All is the night ignacio Fennande put on his lights in shorter time than it takes to tell it. Singer came right back to knock out Andre Koutsis, the feathertight,champ of the world and Gaston Charles another French invader. The wise ones are making Singer the favorite and how I don't see. The Kids record itself should put him on top but the money men can't see it that way. I suppose they are harping on the old saying, "There is all ways a first time," and they must think Singer is the boy to turn the trick. CHOCOLATE SHOULD WIN As I have stated before in these columna, "I think Chocolate should come out in front, but he is meeting a toy that may up-set the dope. Eastern reports say that the gate may go $200,000. Some money for little fellows. son, Oakland; Victoria Snorey, Oak land and Jo. Brown, Los Angeles. The matches will be played at Moos- wood Park, Oakland, Calif., August 31 Sept. 1 and 2. Friday, August 30, 1929 COUNTRY CLUB ACTIVITIES Sammy Jackson Takes Tommy Elks For Trimming Sammy Jackson, Harvey Petite's up and coming welted weight, added another scalp to his belt last Wednesday night at Wilmington when he took that sought Mexican bromte Tommy Elks, down the line for the worst heating the Mex has taken since coming to California. Jackson took ten rounds out of ten. That left hook and right cross of his was working to a perfection and Elks did not have a chance. Sammy had him on the way to dreamland a couple of times but couldn't put him away. This Elf person is some tough boy and I don't mean maybe. He has beaten some of the best boys at the weight in the Southland. Tommy just recently took Johnny Adams, the Son Bernardino Mountain Lion for a ride. Young Sam Langford felt the sting of the Arizona boy's rights and lets. If you remember some time ago the writer stated that some day in the very near future Sammy Jackson would take the place of Young Jack Thompson and Baby Joe Gans as the outstanding colored writer in the few toys on the up and up in the give and take game. Sammy seems about ready to shoot the dime line or rather up the line to the big game. He has had two gemini-winds ups at the big house on Grand Avenue and went over like a house afire. They like him at the big time house and he is always welcome to come back. His style of fight takes them right off their feet. It won't be long how and Jackson should be riding on the top soon. SOUTHERN DANCERS IN DEMAND Panchon & Marco, R. K. O., Hill street and Pantages circuits are demanding Southern dancers faster than they can be trained and booked. Not a day passes, but what some wonderful offers are extended by these vanderville circuits. Dancers specializing in Tap, Buck and Wing, in fact all Southern dancing are in constant demand. All colored revues are equally in demand. Because of this great demand for colored dancers the Professional School of dancing has arranged to reserve two nights a week for the exclusive training of top, musical comedy and all other Southern Dances. This action of setting inside the two nights was imperative for this reason: As stated before the demand for dancers of this class was so heavy the instructor was having trouble in attending to his many classes. As each class features a type of dancing different to the preceding one, it is found necessary to devote two nights a week to Southern dancing alone. Nat King, well known dancing master, will direct the classes personally, giving personal instruction when needed. The Parks Theatrical Agency will present competent papils for the coming seasons productions. The classes will open Thursday, September 5th at 7:30 p. m., and will continue thereafter every Monday and Thursday. Dance aspirants contemplating this course are requested to enroll at once as these classes will be limited. The school is located at 829 12 South Hill street. CABS MUtual 4141 Friday, August 30, 1929 The Mtropa, the company conducting the dining and sleeping cars of the lines of the German Railroad Company, announces that the employees in its sleepers have been granted an adequate WAGE and that TIPS which are usual in sleepers in all countries have been done away with. A small fee to lien or TIP, running from 6 to 48 cents, according to chart, will be added to the price of the birth tickets, and these tickets will bear a notice to the effect that no TIPS are to be given. It seems as if the German nation, even though they have been greatly handicapped by the world war, are gradually taking the lead in many of the most difficult problems of the world, America has been struggling and beating around the bush over the TIPPING question for the past four years, and now a nation which is by far the most handicapped country in the world today, has seen their way clear to abolish the TIPPING system and solve a way to increase the WAGES of the employees effected thereby. On top of all of this Dr. Eckner has accomplished a feat in the air that has autoguessed the world. Yes! the German nation has been greatly suppressed, but their progress has far surpassed their sister countries. The Pullman Porter's today are doffing their hats to the Germans for their fairness and hope that America will soon follow suit. PULLMAN SUPERINTENDENT L. ARTHUR HAS SIMPLE FUNERAL Many Potters Play Last Respects A funeral that was simplicity, itself marked the last hours on earth of Mr. J. L. Arthur, former Superintendent of The Pulman Company at the company's quietly refreshing possibly in a basket hilted with beautiful flowers surrounded by foul pieces of various designs, one of which depicted a huge harp, cast an awesome silence over those present in the magnificent funeral parlor at 1815 Flower street. It was a decidedly Pulman funeral from beginning to end, and as one scanned the many faces of those present, you could see representatives from the different branches of Pulman service occasionally wiping their eyes as the few words of scripture were read by the minister in charge. Among those present to pay their last respects were: Former Supt. C. Lincoln, the official whom Mr. Arthur came west to relieve active service, only himself to be relieved by the Grim Reaper; J. K. Peters, long since retired was also present, looking as young and pert as a man of 40, and aside from Mr. Armstrong of Frisco. Mr. Kramer from the desert district, the majority of the office staff and a large representation of Pulman Porters, among whom were Mr. J. L. Hill of the Angelus Funeral Parlors; L. A. Coffin; C. Smith, No. I; W. H. Browning; E. L. Armad; J. L. Sykes; W. H. W. Browning; J. Prayer; C. H. Levey; S. Taft; M. E. Jackson and C. W. Russell and the author. Mr. Arthur during his short writings continued to enjoy the flavor of the porters of this district by his methods in dealing with them over questions that would arise from time to time. The Porters have lost a good friend J. CARTER, NO. 1. SICK J. Carter No. I is reported to be in a very serious condition on account of ill health. Mr. Carter has been suffering from an in-grown gout which the doctors claim cannot be operated on, however, they are using other methods to care it and have every hope of being successful. It is thought that Carter will soon obtain admittance to the Government Hospital at Sawelle as he in an ex-soldier and entitled to this privilege. MRS. J. BELL HAS VISITOR Mrs. Nellie R. Pearl is visiting Mrs. J. Bell, Sr., at her home, 742 E. 33rd St. Mrs. Pearl whose husband was formerly employed by the Illinois Central Lines is from New Orleans and reports having a very pleasant trip, coming by the way of Omaha, Denver, Salt Lake, and making 3 stop in Berkeley, Calif., where she was the house guest of Mr. and Mrs. Swim Titbs, well known buffet men on the crack S. P. train "The Lark." She has bene pursued by Mrs. Bell to make California her home since Mrs. Bell is a great booster for California it is thought that these pleasant climes might be the means of Mrs. Pearl to dispose of her property in New Orleans and reside here. SANTA FE RED CAPS Normand K. Jones, one of the old timers at the Santa Fe, has been barred from even looking at the Chief. This is a great loss to Jones as the Chief is the best poising rule that runs from this city. Chas. (Buddie Boy) Grandma takes a day off every time he goes to the barber shop to get his "naps" cut. As we cannot see a great deal of im- The Southern Pacific Coach Cleaners Shop Craft Association had what is claimed to be the largest turn-out in many months on the right of the 23rd. Vice-Pres. John Clark, called the meeting to order promptly at 7:30 P. M. sharp having the minutes of the last meeting read by Seyc. Bowers. They were received and adopted by the order. The grievance election was then held and Mr. Booth B. Smart withdrew his nomination in favor of Mr. Otis Cudges, leaving two candidates—Mr. Geo. F. Simmons was elected Grievance Committeeman succeeding Mr. Kyser who resigned recently; Mr. Simmons defeated Otis Cudges by a wide margin. Mr. Booth B. Smart delivered a wonderful address on the welfare of the local pointing out the past activities and honoring Mr. Kryser for the splendid work he did as committeeman. Although the meeting was a very interesting one, it was cut short in order to serve refreshments in time for those on the 41 P. M. shift to return to work. Johnson's Kitchen at 505 Central Ave. was selected by Mr. C. Jones to serve the refreshments. Mr. Johnson had his staff of waiters and waitresses all ready, those who rendered the service de luxe were Miss Tucker, Miss Jones and Mr. Bailey. A real treat was had by all who attended. We noticed that Mr. Joseph Small let his belt out to the last hole, while Mr. James W. Carter pulled the bow out of his tie. And from all indications there was not a member present on a diet. Porter, G. C. Curry, 1952 W. 22nd St., is on the way in recovery after four weeks' illness. Please have all news for the Gallo-Clutter mailled in time to reach Chas. L. Upton, 2190 West 30th St. by Monday of each week. Fresno News Dr. and Mrs. Henry, Clay Walleye (Ruth Hannibal), whose marriage in the southern metropolis a few weeks ago was of much interest to their many friends, were the incentive for brilliant reception on last Friday night when Mr. and Mrs. William E. Brashear entertained over a hundred guests at their charmodious residence in "F" street.

We feel as though we are not fighting the fight alone. Mit 1000 strong and we intend to fight on and on until we are 10,000, 20,000, 50,000 and on until every Negro man, woman and child is liberated from the shackles of political slavery and all other forms of slavery that seeks to destroy our God given rights and our constitutional liberty. We also take occasion to say to the empty headed political scavengers who have annoyed us with pleas to stop, that we have no compromises to make, nor no apology to offer. If you are sick, we are giving you a prescription. If it is bitter it will do you good. You know I once knew a minister that was so constipated until he fell from grace. Really, I never seen a man so full as he when he stood before a great congregation, but he fell from grace. A Negro met me the other day and told me he had been in with politics for 80 years and had helped put men in office from the president to the city council. I asked him where was he put and he said no place. I assured him that he certainly was good natured and hoped he would hold the place. I told him I had been bitten by various kinds of ticks, but the worst bite I ever had was from a Negro politic! You know it is interesting to notice how close the two ticks come together during the election—i mean the SHOO-LER Politic and the Negro Politic. I wonder if the same two ticks could enjoy a meal at the same place and at the same time below the Mason and Dixon line at SHOO-LER VILLE, U. S. A? We trust that all thinking Negroes will stay away from those SHOO-LER politics because brother, their bite don't mean you any good. I want you to know that I met a group of Negro brethren that I highly admired by their SHOO-LER politics and they sure were swelled up too, and they couldn't get into the bathing pool to ease their pain, because the SHOO-LER politics said that the two ticks should not bathe at the same place and at the same time. I assured them that I hoped their pain would last until the next election, and when the political clowns begin to sing: A Shaw to preach and make us weep, While Porter laws defi. I am sure they will have paina enough to keep away from those SHOO-LER politics. Los Angeles sure is a funny place for funny things! I met a man that told me that besides being a politician that he was a business man. In about five minutes I found out that he overtook the living and undertake to do things that are more folig that are funny like that. He asked me if I were going to take the street car. I asked him where would I take it? He said right here, but I didn't, so he ran and caught the car. I said to myself, that sure is a taking poor A full line of Paint and Paper at down town prices WALL PAPER FROM 10 CENTS PER ROLL UP. GOOD HOUSE PAINT FROM $1.25 GAL. UP baby. He undertaken, overtakes and runs end takes. I walked into a Negro real estate office that was murky and the manager said, "How-dee." I quickly refected to the circus clown; well John D. Bubbler; with my pocket I said, "would," he said, "Wilson." I told him no that I was glorious ally. He asked me what I had to buy. I ask him what did he want to buy. He said, "politics." I ask him what kind. He said, "white. Knowing that I would be bitten, I soon cleared out, as I was going he hollered, "C. S. P," but I didn't!

Pharmacist Manufactures Cosmetics Mr. Bernard C. Herndon, pharmacist, who has been in the employ of Mr. J. T. Smith, local druggist for the past eight years and a graduate of University of Southern California School of Pharmacy in 1922, has entered into the business of making high class cosmetics, which are called MOVETLAND. Southern California boasts of the best climate in the U. S. A., and is known as the land of the movies; therefore the name Movieland stands for the best in Cosmetics. Mr. Herndon has perfected and placed on the market several preparations which are emblems of Purity, Quality and Reliability. thantic City, N. J., Aug. 28—After being robbed at $108 last Friday mibt, Mr. and Mrs. M. S. Burke reported the matter to the detective bureau and then consulted a spiritualist. The spiritualist, Percy Smith, enlightened them, they said, in words to the effect that the money was taken by some Chicago things who hung around Tennessee Avenue and the boardwalk, and that is would be unwise to bother with it as they might be "taken for a ride." Burke's imaginations worked overtime with the horrible prospect contained in the phrase, "taken for a ride." Finally, in despair, they went back to the detective bureau and relieved themselves of their misgivings. Detective Gilbert went after the spiritualist and arrested Smith on a charge of being a disloverly person in that he told fortunes. The spiritualise was brought before Recorder Altman, Monday, and the charges were dismissed. Seeks to Stop Pardon By The Associated Negro Press Baton Rouge, La., Aug. 28—J. E. McClanahan, warden of the state penitentiary, will ask Governor Long to revoke the pardon granted Henry Williams sentenced to life imprisonment for a murder in Jackson parish, because of the trouble he has caused at the St. Gabriel penal farm where he is incarcerated. Williams had run an amuck several times before his pardon was granted. McClanahan found upon investigation. At one time he had stabbed several fellow prisoners with a homemade knife. McClanahan said that W. W. Pecue, former captain at St. Gabriel had failed to report the escapes, and the pardon in considering his case did not learn of his record. Dr. E.
